I bought the new Living Colour album, ??Collideoscope??. In a welcome change from most new-albums-from-old-bands, I mostly like it, though it is an incredibly angry album–it _seeths_.
The first three tracks just flow into one another, and they are a relentless assault, but there’s a little oasis of calm on track #4, ??Flying??.
I’ve taken to putting it on and sort of vamping over it off and on for the last week–it’s a nice little chord progression, plenty of open space, I get to pretend I’m Vernon Reid, etc.
I just now figured out that it is about 9/11. More specifically, it’s about the people who jumped out of the buildings, to their certain death, to escape the fire.
I am in awe.
